The focus on "busting" is missing the point. When he wants to devastate a planet, Saitama doesn't have to spend time charging to build up momentum, like Superman. Nor does he have to spend a comparative eternity winding up metaphysical energy in a weapon, like Thor. Nor does he need to spend a few seconds (may as well be an hour for these speedsters) charging up a gigantic voluminous beam or sphere, like Saiyan to Cell era Dragon Ball characters.

He just... swings his arm. Once. At explicitly less than the full output of one of his regular punches. For a character who, judging by the moon feat, is easily capable of swinging his limbs at significant fractions of c. That is enough to completely overpower and cancel out a blast with enough energy to reduce Earth to a molten (though still solid) rock, with enough energy left over that the
air pressure generated by it killed Boros.
This is absolutely crazy if you think about it for more than five seconds. It's so bonkers.

I'm going to paraphrase another forumite on a different website, because I don't think people will properly understand otherwise.
I imagine "shaving the planet" would either mean blowing Terra's crust into space, or melting it. Interestingly enough, the energy to do the former so is only ~1/19th the energy of flat out blowing it up, and actually 12 times higher than the GBE of the moon. Melting the crust on the other hand is still a little under 1/4th the Moon's GBE and 1/1,000th the energy to blow the planet up, and 1/10,000th the Earth's GBE.
Extremely interesting to me is that apparently blowing the oceans into space alone is damn near the Moon's GBE. Which would suggest to me, in any event, in addition to taking into account issues of efficiency that increase the energy necessary for a given task incredibly, like from the fact that Boros's blast was only on one side of the planet and large amounts of vaporization, that Boros most likely is above Moon busting, even if you only defined him by partial melting, partially vaporizing, partially blasting the shit out of the crust.
If 100 serious punches from Saitama were equivalent to the Earth's GBE (2% efficiency in melting the crust, and Serious Punch 2x CSRC), and that doesn't actually strike me as being too few at all, then we're left with Saitama delivering 2.24-2.9e+32 joules in 167 nanoseconds. That's around 1.34-1.74e+41 watts.
Do you know what that's comparable to? That's comparable to the luminosity of the quasar APM 08279+5255, which is the brightest object ever seen in the observable universe. More even, by 30-70%.
Even reducing that figure to 10,000 punches to destroy the Earth, and it's comparable to the luminosity of a normal quasar. Which is still about a hundred times more luminous than the entire Milky Way Galaxy. Which of course means that if you increased the necessary punches again to 1,000,000, he'd still have have equivalent localized power output to every star in the galaxy. And frankly, this strikes me as too low, as it implies that Boros comes nowhere near even just boiling the oceans away, let alone that Saitama's punch should be much stronger than Boros's attack.
Even more terrifyingly, in terms of watts, each individual serious blow pulse is even still *waaaaay* higher, and this is just the transferred power averaged throughout a given second, not counting any blacklash, or trying to figure out how unbelievably short the impact time is.
Does that perhaps give some context on what those serious punches of his were like? Of how extreme they were? Do you really think that Zarbon was hitting power levels comparable to the luminosity of entire galaxies? Do you really think any of Freeza's army were seriously doing so with their fists?
The main point is that within a fraction of a second, Saitama's energy output by
swinging his arms has exceeded a standard Earth buster's. Taking into account how much higher his energy/time ratio is (i.e. power) as well as how concentrated the energy delivered in his fist is versus a house-sized beam (or something the size of a stadium if talking about e.g. Freeza's death ball on planet Vegeta), the intensity of his output (what matters for durability) is literally
millions of times greater than Vegeta's Galick Gun, for example. His total energy output per second (power], going by my calculated levels in the linked thread, is billions of times greater than any Freeza era character's.
Saying "Saiyan arc Vegeta can maybe destroy the Earth if he charges all his energy into a beam or his fist for a long ass time" is not really a viable counter argument to somebody who can unleash the force to do the same in less than a millionth of a second, and can unleash it as many more times as he can fit into the duration within that second.
